cars newspapers and magazines

I just got done reading an article about car companies saving money by not putting any options on their cars this year. This made me think of something else that's been bothering me. I get three or four magazines a month, and I've noticed that they are getting progressively thinner and thinner. I thought this might that might have something to do with advertising being off. Now I think it's more insidious. They're getting rid of everything in the magazines I get that was the reason I got them in the first place. And people are sitting around tables trying to figure out how not to go out of business and in my opinion chopping off their nose to spite their face. Cutting corners is just not the way to go. Losing customers in my opinion starts with them being scared and ends with them not having anything decent left to consume. I have a dog and she is the perfect consumer if she doesn't like what you're giving out she sniffs at you and walks away. I would also like to point out that she licks her own ass so it's not that she's all that picky.
